In 2013, the Russian corrugated cardboard manufacturer Arkhbum installed their first extraction plant from Hunkeler Systeme AG. A second identical plant was installed last year. Now, in the manufacture of hygiene paper, a decision in favour of Swiss technology has been reached.
Last year, Arkhbum doubled their production capacity in Istra to 400 million square metres of corrugated cardboard monthly. A second identically constructed extraction plant from Hunkeler Systeme AG was installed. It is constructed parallel to the previous plant and is also connected to a corrugated cardboard production line, several Bobst die-cutting machines and a shredder. Both extraction systems operate independently of one another as a rule. Basically, they guarantee the operation of their assigned production line. The system has, however, been designed and managed so that each of the two systems can also be used as a back-up for the other production line.
